Did you know esports is dead? Neither did we, but here’s an article about it and while it may not be filling stadiums, the reports of its death are greatly exaggerated.

Then we’re joined by Don Merritt from the University of Central Florida to discuss learning spaces without focusing on “the stuff.” As technologists, it’s tempting to talk about features without activities and Brand A vs Brand B, losing sight of the nature of what we’re doing. After all, if the students and faculty don’t care what model projector, display, DSP, or control surface is in learning spaces, should we?

Finally, Dante AV is here. And there’s just way too many flavors.

Alternate show titles:

Students Learn Less
It’s not about the technology
We are not supporting faculty as well as we should
There is still value in the sage on the stage
There’s more on their plate than you think there is
Keep it as simple as possible
We’re all not using the same definition
We’re in danger of using the local definitions
Learning Campuses, not Learning Spaces
Wifi in stairwells
Watching them in their natural habitat
Gravy on top of it all
I was terrified the cornole league was going to fold
We can make online hotdogs
